Nocturne (originally the composer called this number Romance) is a lyrical intermezzo^[1] Mazurka - bright, joyful, spectacular^[1] The romance, which replaces the magnificent ballroom dance, is close in mood to Nocturne and Waltz^[1] The gallop completes it - another ballroom number that depicts an empty, indifferent masquerade crowd, indifferent to the tragedy taking place against its background, not noticing it^[1]

Other notable creations of this period include incidental music to plays, the best-known score of which is Masquerade (play by Mikhail Lermontov). A five-movement suite, extracted by the composer in 1944, consists of the following movements: "Waltz," "Nocturne," "Mazurka," "Romance," and "Galop."^[9]

The incidental music for Lermontovʼs play, Masquerade, and the suite drawn from it in 1944, has become part of the established Khachaturian canon. A previous production with music by Alexander Glazunov (1865-1936) was viewed by the composer in 1938; oddly, the "Waltz-Fantasy" by Mikhail Glinka (1804- 1857) was inserted in the place where a waltz was indicated in the play as per the instructions of Glazunov. Khachaturian, who surmised that the earlier composer had difficulty producing the requisite dance piece here, found that he, too, was stymied to find the proper stylistic atmosphere for his effort. His teacher, Miaskovsky, presented him with a collection of waltz pieces that predated the era of Glinka, but these did not satisfy him. The need for a waltz that could somehow convey the mixture of sadness and happiness came to him, according to his own recollection, while he was sitting for a portrait of himself by Evgeni Pasternak:^[10]

One day while posing I suddenly heard a theme in my head which became the second theme of my future waltz. I doubt if I can explain where it came from. But I am certain that, had it not been for the strenuous search of the past weeks there would have been no such discovery. The theme was like a magic link, allowing me to pull out the whole chain. The rest of the waltz came to me easily, with no trouble at all.11 [11. Yuzefovich, Aram Khachaturyan, 78.^[10]

The "Nocturne," "Mazurka," "Romance," and "Galop" are the accessible and memorable other movements which follow the waltz (Example 6).^[11]

Colorful orchestration and, in this instance, dances contrasted with slower, lyrical sections appropriate to a masked ball, aristocratic in nature, rather than to a cotton farm peopled by the peasantry, signify a composer possessed of supreme craftsmanship.^[11]

Credit for the first performance of the suite in America goes to the Santa Monica Symphony Orchestra which performed it on 7 May, 1946 under the direction of Jacques Rachmilovich. The composer has arranged the "Nocturne" for violin and piano.13^[11]

Khachaturian makes no claims at profundity. Yet you'd have to be pretty hard hearted not to resist the charms of the Waltz from Masquerade, or the physical exhilaration of the "Sabre Dance" particularly when they are delivered...
